Here's a few Buzz Baits I made up recently. Just thought I would show em off a little.

Bleeding Gizzard Shad

Flatline Black

Living Rubber White

Nice baits! I like the bent frames. Great color patterns.

Bleeding Gizzard Shad looks real good.

Nice Buzzbaits Skeeterman. All look great.

I noticed you crimped the rivet down, does that add to the squeal of the blade or deaden it? I personally don't crimp mine down and never tried one that was crimped.

Excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks every one.

Jig---Probably more of a personal preference on the crimping than anything. My thoughts on it were to give another solid non moving surface for the blade to turn on, trying to increase friction in other words. I have not put two side by side, but have tried all the blades, alum., nickel, black nickel, and gold. They are pretty much loudest to quitest in that order.

Gotcha Skeeterman.

I've been experimenting with grinding the rivet down to about half it's size and then I bend the wire the rivet rests against a little more so that the wings of blade just ticks against it. Makes quite a racket.

Good luck with them!

Sounds like a neat trick. I try to make some as quite as possible too. Seems like on some of the lakes around here that a really quite one will catch fish that the louder ones want. They see a lot of bb's in this area.

Here's one I made for the clear rocky lakes around here that I fish rocks with sunfish on a lot. Haven't got to try it yet, but I think it's gonna rip some heads......

Sunfish

I like that Sunfish one, very nice.

The more I think about it, the more I think I'm going have to make a quieter Buzzbait as you mentioned. The Buzzbait bite has really been non-existent up here the last couple of years and that's just not my opinion, but from other anglers I've been talking to as well. It stinks, I really like the Buzzbait bite.

Thankfully, the Spook Jr has satisfied my topwater bite itch. 

I know exactly what you mean. Been off here too. Frog Bite as well. But like you said, other topwaters have worked. I just hate the though of having to boat solid in a T on those little treble hooks....lol Scares me everytime they jump.

I'm glad I came back to this thread and saw the sunfish buzzbait. That is a fine looking topwater 

Thank you. It looks good on a jig too. That's what I made it for first, but just couldn't resist putting it on the buzzbait.

I bet that looks good on a jig. We have no shad up here, i bet that would be a killer jig to use.

sent you some eye candy.

That sunfish is the best looking buzzbait IMO. Well done!
